So I've been noticing a few of my recent prints had some under extrusion around the z seam leaving indents that look like tearing. After basic troubleshooting I come to find that the issue is in the slicer. Could somone help me figure out what settings I need to change? Changing the z seam type doesn't really help, it just seems like cura is refusing to close the seam and would rather my prints have a fissor on them.

I feel like, at this point, there's little use in using Cura other than mere familiarity at this point. My understanding is even OrcaSlicer's algorithms tend to produce better prints with extremely similar settings.

Hope you find the solution in Cura, but have you considered Orca at all?
